Opportunity Overview

We are seeking an experienced Analog Software Engineering Manager to lead a software engineering team developing and maintaining DC‑focused ATE and test‑system software for the Nextest division. This role is centered on Pin Electronics, DC parametric instruments, measurement accuracy, calibration, and system reliability, supporting both engineering validation and high‑volume manufacturing environments.

• Lead and manage the Analog Software Engineering team responsible for pin electronics and parametric ATE software
• Coach, mentor, and develop engineers, fostering technical excellence and career growth
• Define the technical vision, roadmap, and execution plan for DC test and measurement software for multiple platforms
• Own the performance management process, including goal setting, feedback, and development planning
• Collaborate closely with Analog Hardware, FPGA, Systems, SQA, Product, and Manufacturing teams to ensure robust integration of DC measurement software with FPGA‑based control and data‑path logic
• Drive software architecture and coding standards to ensure measurement accuracy, repeatability, and long‑term stability
• Lead troubleshooting and root‑cause analysis of complex system‑level issues spanning software, hardware, and instrumentation
• Ensure software solutions scale from engineering characterization to high‑volume production test
• Promote best practices in documentation, design reviews, and cross‑functional technical alignment

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
• 5+ years of experience in semiconductor test, ATE, or DC‑focused hardware‑adjacent software development
• 5+ years of experience in engineering management or technical leadership roles
• Strong experience developing software for ATE systems
• Proficiency in C/C++
• Experience using development and CI/CD tools such as:
• Git, Git Lab, or similar
• Solid understanding of:
• DC voltage and current measurement principles
• Force/measure architectures and parametric test concepts
• Calibration, accuracy, repeatability, and error sources in DC measurements
• Hardware–software interaction and low‑level debugging
• Experience with DC subsystems on ATE platforms, parametric tests, or SMU‑based systems
• Background in production test, parametric yield analysis, or test‑time optimization
• Experience supporting manufacturing ramp‑up and sustaining engineering
• Familiarity with lab instrumentation such as DMMs, SMUs, power supplies, and switch matrices
• Understanding of long‑term accuracy, drift, and calibration maintenance in high‑volume environments

The base salary range for this role is $182,300 - $291,700. This range is a good faith estimate, and the amount of base salary will correspond with experience and skill set. This range can also fluctuate depending on demand and location.
